Foot-bath



STATES NIE FOOT- BATH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 226,063, dated March 30, 1880.

Application filed J anuaz'y 20, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JAMES S. HAGERTY, of the city of Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements in Foot-Baths, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part hereof. 1

The invention consists in extending upward a long side of the foot-bath its entire length, whereby the bath, when used as a tray or rest for the slop-jar and bucket forming a set of chamber-furniture, may protect the wall against which it may be placed from water splashed over the slop-jar in the act of emptying slop thereinto.

The drawing represents a perspective View of the invention.

The long side a of the foot-bath is extended upward for its entire length, increasing in width as it rises by following the angle of the ends of the bath. The side a is made high enough to reach above the height of the slopjar when standing within the foot-bath. The

width of the extended side is such as to com- 2 5 pletely protect the wall against the splashing of water thrown into the slop-jar, and also allows the user of the bath greater freedom without the danger of spilling the water when using the device in its capacity of a foot-bath. 0

I am aware that in sitting-bath tubs a portion has been extended upward as a back or rest for the person; but such a tub is of different construction, and is designed for a different, and will not effect the same, purpose as 3 5 that effected by my invention; and therefore I do not claim such a sitting-bath tub; but,

Having described my invention, I claim As a new article of manufacture, a foot-bath having one of its long sides extended upward 4.0
